The Cinematic Journey of Paddington In Peru

A Love for Cinema: The Paddington Films

The Paddington films have always been imbued with a deep love of cinema. Paul King’s Paddington and Paddington 2 revelled in creating handcrafted textures, beautifully shot and making nods to classic slapstick comedies, prison escape dramas, and soundstage musicals.

New Adventures Await: Paddington In Peru

Paddington is venturing out of London in the upcoming threequel, Paddington In Peru. Douglas Wilson makes his directorial debut in this Amazonian adventure, taking over from King and sending our young furry hero and the Brown family on an exciting new journey. The change of location promises an influx of new cinematic touchstones.

Exploring Peruvian Influences

Wilson draws inspiration from Werner Herzog’s jungle-traversing films like Aguirre, The Wrath Of God, and Fitzcarraldo for Paddington In Peru. The Peruvian landscape offers incredible variety, with the Andes and the mysterious Incan side adding to the film’s unique charm. Wilson aims to capture the essence of Peruvian culture through traditional clothing and local legends, with a touch of The Sound Of Music and Black Narcissus.

The Evolution of Paddington

Voice actor Ben Whishaw believes that taking Paddington to Peru will reveal a different side of the beloved character. Connecting with his country and embracing his bearish nature, Paddington’s relatability lies in his mix of politeness and clumsiness. With Herzog influences in the mix, there’s hope that Paddington won’t go full Bad Lieutenant in this new adventure.
